An ancient border market town, Presteigne stands
on the banks of the River Lugg.
It boasts
half-timbered buildings, a museum and an annual
festival of music and theatre.
In the 13th
century the Mortimers, powerful Marcher barons,
controlled it. Much later it became a coaching
town linking London and Aberystwyth.
